Outrageous Fortune: Meditations on Living Through a Pandemic and Troubled Times
0$3.99 – $11.99Navigating through troubled times is often fearful, terrifying, and disappointing. We want to make decisions that move us along, but we are also fearful about making the wrong choice. Especially, during this pandemic, we are fearful about our lives being touched by others, but with a deep desire to stay connected. These meditations trace the emotional upheaval of our struggle as well as provide hopeful solace in the struggle itself. Philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, spiritual advisors, and theologians are useful sources for this journey. In my endeavor to clarify and advance the singularity of our struggle, I have gleaned from many of those listed above. But most of all I have endeavored to dive into my own vulnerability, connecting myself to the human struggle for security and love.
Just Call Me Gatsby
0$3.99 – $17.99Like the classic American capitalist, Christopher “Gatsby” Brooks believes in the power of illusions. His seemingly deep pockets have made him preeminent in the business world and conspicuously wealthy. But when Shirley Frazier, a management consultant, discovers a substantial portion of Gatsby’s income was derived from selling millions of dollars in unregistered (possibly illegal) securities, her confrontation with Gatsby sets off a dangerous cascade of events that could culminate in Gatsby’s demise-or set the stage for his ultimate success.
With prosecutors pursuing the case, and a dead body connected to his dissembling, Gatsby risks everything on another secretive gamble: a new venture fund that will depend on his raising $100 million before Shirley and the legal “assassins” kill his reputation. As Gatsby puts his plan in motion, several of his major investors demand he repay millions of dollars in securities-money he doesn’t have. And his wife, Miriam (Claire to his Frank Underwood, if you are a House of Cards fan), decides to take matters into her own hands.
Just Call Me Gatsby explores the sometimes-contradictory forms of power that run the world: money, charm, trust, and the betrayal of that trust. The novel will appeal to a wide range of fiction readers including fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Norb Vonnegut’s The Trust, Joseph Finder’s Paranoia, and Christina Alger’s The Darlings.
Those who like entrepreneurial or business-related novels such as Louis Auchinclass’ The Embezzler, Philip Roth’s American Pastoral, and Thomas Wolfe’s A Man in Full will also enjoy this suspenseful story about the scheming that blurs the lines between wealth and the illusion thereof.The Truth Will Set You Free: Eleven Myths Satan Uses to Deceive Man
0$9.99 – $16.95THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
If you asked an American, “Who is the prince of this world”, most will say, Jesus Christ. However, that is not what the Bible says:
(John 12:31) “Now is the time for judgement on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.”
John 16:11) “About Judgement, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.”
Another misconception man has is the God gave him freewill in order that he could make a decision for Christ in his life. God chooses us not the other way around! (Luke 10:22) “All things have been committed to me by my father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
The above two myth mentioned above are just part of the eleven myths covered in this book: “THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE, ELEVEN MYTHS SATAN USES TO DECEIVE MAN”. These lies exposes Satan’s plan he uses to destroy man’s relationship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Don’t accept my words, but check them out yourself. The Apostle Paul says that you should be like the “Bereans”: (Acts 17:11) “Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scripture every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
Satan lies and wants to take as many people to Hell with him, where he and his followers will spend eternity.

Multiple Shades of Gray: Craig Spence Finds a Killer Hiding Among Retirees
0$3.99 – $9.99This book is a work of fiction. Names of characters and incidents are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously and any resemblance to any actual persons, living or dead is entirely coincidental.

Craig however is instrumental in saving the life of a person involved in a serious accident, is stalked by a mountain lion, finds the remains while hiking and finds that there is a Killer hiding out in the Senior Manor in which they live.

Discovering My Royal Heritage While Surviving in Black Skin
0$3.99 – $22.99Surviving in Black Skin is an illuminating virtual journey within the black skin of the author whose life was abruptly uprooted from his southern home in Mobile, Alabama, and transplanted onto the western coast of Los Angeles, California. The reader learns that his family’s abrupt transplantation was part of a much larger southern exodus of people in black skins in reaction to the tortuous lynching of a 14-year-old kid named Emmitt Till. It’s quite a paradox that the continued lynching’s (6500 between 1865 and 1950), like the late George Floyd, didn’t limit the murders to the South.
The consequence of the covert and overt racism Webster experienced while living through the paradox of racial integration in high school, college, the Navy, as well as his workplace, provides the reader with Webster’s vision of the institutionalized xenophobia which exploded into the Watts Rebellion of 1965. Webster introduces the reader to the launching of: Black Student Unions, the Black Panthers, the Congress of Racial Equality, and some of their leaders such as Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis and the non-violent crusade of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. The author culminates these encounters by taking the reader out of the United States of America, to Africa’s Egypt only to discover his great ancestry; Pharaohs in Black Skins who were the original authors of the first written language, literally the very African birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
The reality that an advanced civilization of people in black skins, were the authors of the civilization of Ancient Egypt has not only been dismissed, but vehemently condemned by conventional Egyptologists, archaeologists, and even the present Arabian Egyptian government.
The reader will take away from this book a better sense of “WHAT HAPPENED?” How the ancestorial history of people in black skins was literally transformed into the Greek, Jewish, and Islamic history, while “Black History” is relegated to “Slave History.” Why are the names of the great Pharaohs not mentioned in the bible. The names of nearly every prince and priest are spelled out; first, second and third cousins; first and second wives; beggars and even prostitutes are named, but the names of the most important and powerful men and women in the world at the time are not mentioned. The king lists of pharaohs who ruled the most powerful and civilized country in the world for over three-thousand years aren’t named. The leaders that provided the very blueprint for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are never named, but simply referred to as pharaoh. Could it simply be because they were in Black Skins?
The reader will eventually discover that we are all just one human race with one common heritage.

Stories From The Boxcar: A Spiritual Journey
0$4.99 – $54.99Frank Varro, author of ‘Stories from the Boxcar,’ is a retired Methodist pastor, prison and hospice chaplain, missionary, teacher, counselor, and musician. He is from a three-generation family of China missionaries. This ‘Quilogy’ (five-books-in-one) is the story of his paternal Hungarian-immigrant heritage, and his maternal-missionary heritage. It relates to his father’s boyhood home-a boxcar on a siding in Regina, Saskatchewan-from which came his father’s many stories and life’s lessons, which is the theme of Dr. Varro’s book, pictures of his own life, struggles, victories, and detours along the way. The journey takes us through his international childhood in Alaska, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and five states of the U.S. He graduated from Morrison Academy, a Taiwan missionary boarding school; he also graduated from Seattle Pacific University, where he met and married Margo Moore, his accompanist-now his wife of fifty-six years. The story goes on with their own radio and TV missionary work, and teachers at Taipei American School in Taiwan; it continues with the birth of their daughter in Taiwan, and an around-the-world trip through Asia and Europe; then back to Seattle at the University of Washington-earning a Masters of Music, and Doctor of Music Arts in Choral Conducting degrees. He taught elementary, middle school, high school, and college music in Taiwan, Seattle, Oregon, Ohio, and Texas. After fifteen years as teacher and college music professor, Dr. Varro held music positions in churches, and founded two community music ensembles. Following times of spiritual struggle and renewal, he graduated from Houston Graduate School of Theology with Masters of Divinity, Masters of Arts in Counseling, and Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling degrees. He trained and was Staff Counselor at Samaritan Counseling Center in Houston. He founded Varro Counseling, spending the next twenty-two years in pastoral counseling, free-lance music, prison, and retreat ministries, as an ordained minister, in first the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, then the United Methodist Church, and finally the Global Methodist Church.
The last two books outline his spiritual struggle and renewal before ordination. He and Margo are parents of Shelley, born in Taiwan; Steve, born in Oregon; and Rob, born in Ohio; they have five grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. He and Margo have lived in Houston, Texas, for thirty-nine years.
